Figure 3. Cost-effectiveness Plane for Base-Case Analysis and Cost-effectiveness Acceptability Curves.

Figure 3.

A, The cost-effectiveness plane for the base-case analysis included cardiac-associated health care costs, non–health care costs according to the friction cost method (FCM), and quality of life (QOL) measures from the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level survey (EQ-5D-5L). To convert to US dollars, multiply by 1.142, the mean exchange rate in 2020 (eg, €5000 is equivalent to $5710, €10 000 is equivalent to $11 420, €15 000 is equivalent to $17 130, and €20 000 is equivalent to $22 840). B, The base-case analysis included cardiac-associated health care costs, non–health care costs according to the FCM, and QOL measures from the EQ-5D-5L. Sensitivity analysis 1 included cardiac-associated health care costs and QOL measures from the EQ-5D-5L. Sensitivity analysis 2 included cardiac-associated health care, non–health care costs according to the FCM, and utility measures from the EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale. Sensitivity analysis 3 included cardiac-associated health care costs, productivity costs according to the human capital method, and QOL measures from the EQ-5D-5L. Sensitivity analysis 4 included total health care costs, non–health care costs according to the FCM, and QOL measures from the EQ-5D-5L. The dashed horizontal line at 50% probability represents the point at which no preference for either strategy (center-based cardiac rehabilitation [CR] or cardiac telerehabilitation [CTR]) exists. To convert to US dollars, multiply by 1.142, the mean exchange rate in 2020 (eg, €50 000 is equivalent to $57 100, €100 000 is equivalent to $114 200, €150 000 is equivalent to $171 300, and €200 000 is equivalent to $228 400).
